Clarence the Candymaker rubbed his hands gleefully. Today, he would introduce the world to a whole new kind of Valentine's Day candy. "Hee hee hee!" he giggled. "This is the day I will rule the world!" He had created a candy that would take over the minds of everyone who ate it! He ran to his lab and boxed the candy for shipping. After an hour or so the boxes were sent. Another hour passed and he had controlled the minds of everyone! He giggled, sneered, laughed and coughed with happiness! He had minions everywhere! He ordered his minions to capture anyone who didn't eat the gum and put them in jail. A survivor named Joe fled in fear. Years later Joe decided to come back for the toothbrush he left there, but when he came back the town was a wasteland. He ran back to his new home and discovered that the world had been destroyed. Clarence the Candymaker had taken over the world. Pablo You're not going to believe this, but yesterday I was outside riding my bike when I was interrupted by a strange rustling in a bush nearby. I was curious, but also quite nervous, as I crept up to investigate. As I got closer to the noisy bush, I saw what I thought was just merely a squirrel. I went up to it anyway to see just how [[#|close]] I could get to it. When I got surprisingly close, I noticed that the squirrel was, in fact, not a squirrel! It was a bat with a long furry tail! I knew bats did not have long furry tails, so I wondered out loud. "What are you?" I was, of course, not expecting a response, but to my surprise, the squirrel/bat looked over at me and replied, "Hola, I am Pablo the south-eastern squirrel/bat." I gasped in astonishment. "I know, I know," he said. "A talking animal. Best day of your life." He laughed; I gaped in astonishment. "I read fortunes," he said. "It is a businesses of mine." "Ok then," I snickered. "Read my [[#|fortune]]." "Hmmm," he murmured,in concentration. "Ah, I see, Don't take any [[#|flu shots]] in the next year. They won't help. You won't get the flu anyway." He waved me goodbye and I rode away on my bike, anxious to tell my family what happened. And that's why I can't [[#|get a [[#|flu]] shot]] today. Aliens and Dinosaurs
I wish I could learn how to travel through time. It would be cool to learn this because then I could go back in time and tame a dinosaur. I could ride around and discover the behavior of dinosaurs. I could also find amazing [[#|information]] about what dinosaurs did! That would help scientist a lot. What would also be cool is if I could go into the future and see what it's like. We might have the technology to find life on other planets! Then, when the aliens come, I will be ready.

Plant Cell's Letter to ChloroplastsDear Chloroplasts, I love you SO much because green is my FAVORITE color and I want the plants that we make up to be green and you make that possible for me. Even though you are tiny, you still do BIG things that help those big plants survive!

But then you came along and said, "Hey! Do you know where I could find a cell to call home? My name is Chloroplasts! Nice to meet you!" It was the best day of my life! Love, Plant Cell P.S.
